"Beautiful watch, some difficulty with adjusting band" | 2008-09-09 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1DPSOS81SRTXG |
| Bought this watch as a gift which was well received, but my friend ran into problems when he tried to adjust the band length to fit his wrist. No department store could deal with these types of links and he had to go through a couple jewelry stores before finding one that was able to work with the band. Just a heads up, which we didn't have. Otherwise the watch itself is great. |

| This watch is thin an light which I really like. The glass has already cracked in less than 6 months of normal wear. I got it repaired which cost over 40$ with shipping and a moth later it cracked again! I have never had a watch this fragile before. |

"Stylish and Lightweight but..." | 2008-04-20 |
| - Reviewed By jmont42 |
| On the positive side, this is a very lightweight watch and most of the time I don't even realize I have it on, it also has a very stylish look and I think you can be proud to wear it on the job, on the golf course or out on the town. Let's face it as Men, we don't wear much jewelry and so I think it's important to make a good choice with your watches. On the negative side, the calender date is too small for almost anyone to see, the adjustment knob is very hard to pull out, and the clasp sticks out a little even when it's closed. But all in all it's a great watch for the price. One last thing, having the band adjusted should cost $5 to $10 and make sure they take links from both sides. |

"Very nice watch. One small flaw" | 2008-02-22 |

Inexpensive, nice-looking, lightweight. It is also quiet, contrary to other reviewers' impressions. Maybe this varies for each particular watch? In that case, I am lucky. Generally it is a great watch.
The only small but annoying thing about this watch has to do with its metal link strap. As you wear the watch, the links move against each other and lock on the hairs on your wrist, pulling on them. Ouch! I have had this watch for about a week and this happens once or twice every hour. It is not unbearable, but it is mildly annoying. Maybe I will get used to it over time.
I have always worn leather straps and so I am not experienced in link straps. Maybe all of them do this? |

One very classy watch... simple, elegant, light weight, thin, and dark gray color makes this watch perfect for the office. The titanium, hard crystal, and water resistance makes the watch very durable. All this at 1/5th the price of my Seiko Titanium Kinetic!

"About The Best You Can Get For The Price" | 2008-02-08 |

| This is by far one of the best watches I have ever owned. It is very rugged , I know because I have punished it severely. But it is light as a feather compared to comparable watches of the same size. You don't even notice it when you wearing it. My daughter gave me one of these for Christmas about 4 Years ago. Recently I got it snagged at work and it broke the locking tab on the band. I easily found the information to have the band replaced opposed to looking for a new watch. In the meantime I needed a replacement. I liked the watch so much that rather than buying a cheap one, or looking for a different model. I immediately went straight to a search for a new one. Amazon had great pricing compared to local stores, so I snatched one up. Now I have a spare just in case. |

Having read previous reviews I was a bit afraid of buying this watch... But it is really quiet! My wife says it is my hearing... Terrific watch, stylish -- simple and light. Can't hardly tell I have it on. Amazon delivered it when predicted for free. Took awhile, but was worth the wait (I'm thrifty!). So far, in four days it has kept perfect time. Just checked it against the US Atomic clock and it is spot on with when I set it when I opened the package. The adjustment of the band was not that difficult, just take your time and you can do it yourself. No need to go to a jeweler... but go ahead if you must. We'll have to see how it holds up, my eight-year old Seiko is rather battered... but I'll just wear this one for "dress-up."
Looks and feels a lot more expensive than it was, $67. Amazon beat the prices of several other web-based stores.
If you want a simple, attractive, light men's watch I don't think you can go wrong on the 105LTX from Skagen!

"Classic, elegand and light, but easy to brake" | 2008-01-29 |

I had those watches for close to two years. Got them because I like the styling, size, color and pretty much everything about it. I'd say those are perfect EXCEPT:
1) Supposedly they are water resistant but they fogged up after the first time I got into shower.. the was not intentional and it was during the first week I had them.
2) Crystal is very easy to scratch.
3) Titanium band and watch body are also very to scratch.
4) Titanium bracelet broke after less than two years...
:) So I'm looking for a new watch now... I'd go for the same model, but it's just not tough enough for everyday life. Too bad! |

"Ultralight and handsome" | 2008-01-28 |

| Because it is made of titanium, it is ultralight and thin. The watch is very handsome. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because you cannot tell the time at night or in the dark at all. For the price for a titanium watch though, it is a great purchase. |

I've had this watch for maybe 6 month now.
I bought it simply because it was made of titanium and looked good, and I get metal allergy from anything else. I first had a black skagen mesh watch, but it was not 100% titanium, and started to give me a rash when the paint wore off. This one is perfect however. I use it every day. It has gotten one nick in the crystal. It is my first watch ever not to give me a rash.
I also have received questions like, "Is that watch something special?". So I guess it must look good.
